Figure Score and Fire News

Hi All,

No painting today, I visited with my brother who lives in the town where we went to college. I did manage to find this stuff at Bizarro World.

The magazine was $6, the boxed Knights $12 and the single figures in blister $5 each. The magazine is from July 1980, the box 1996 and the blisters 1997. They also had some army books and a few random Dark Elves and Lizardmen blisters. I would have shown these off on the Oldhammer Facebook page, but there's been a lot of squabbling and abuse of what is Oldhammer and these don't fit the criteria. I think 96/97 puts them squarely in 4th edition WFB.

We got back to the farm from the mountains yesterday. I went into Davis for lunch and saw this behind the farm when I got back. At that time it was 25 acres, as of about 7pm it was passing 1000 acres. It's pretty hazy and smells like smoke. I don't think the house is in any danger, as we are surrounded by tomatoes and there are quite a few orchards nearby that are also well watered.

Back to miniatures, if you're so inclined, I posted a few photos of my "greatest hit" over on the Oldhammer FB page but I can't seem to figure out how to link to it. Maybe it's smoke inhalation. Just kidding.

Nice haul! Bizarro World sounds worth a visit for the name alone. Living in Aus I can sympathise about that column but looking at the terrain between you and it I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.

Hi Millsy, it's a great little store. Boxes full of those old wargaming magazines, games sans box and even a few games in. Also loads of comics, baseball cards and the like. Although they're in a pretty bad drought in the state, the farming around my folks place presents a pretty good fire break.

Hi Cedric, I am pleased with my finds. Good deals are out there if you keep looking. The fire is more under control today and they have let some people return home. I think only two structures have been destroyed.
